Coors Banquet - 5% ABV

[@vaughn257]

i'm having one right now and it taste great.

[@jsenigaglia]

Cheers!!!

[@randytolen9531]

Finally bought some after reading so many great reviews....indeed it's a great brew. I found it does have a banana note which I enjoy, it's very smooth and has a great taste. Ranks VERY high on my list of American lagers! Well done! And, you make a GREAT point about calories, which is why I usually favor light beers....but since I'm a lightweight it really doesn't matter much.

[@flametraincbd4573]

It's that Rocky mountain water and has a banana profile in the taste

[@ClancyWoodard-yw6tg]

Believe it or not the first time I ever had this beer. What after watching the 1977 movie Smokey and the bandit

[@jsenigaglia]

Great flick! 🍻

[@tacktiician4978]

I agree cheap beers are a nice switch up sometimes! #TeamCoors

[@jsenigaglia]

Amen my brother 🍻

[@tacktiician4978]

@@jsenigaglia my buddy and I get together for shares a lot and sometimes we change it up, last week we did Coronas with lime slices and just played video games all day.. it's nice not having to focus on the beer taste and talking about it. Sometimes ya just wanna drink and not think!

[@x310gtsx]

well shit, bud light must be next! 🍻

[@jsenigaglia]

Hahaha no Bud Light in the fridge!

[@kerbygator]

Those are very good, cheap American beers. I drink them all the time. It has a subtle banana taste from the yeast that they use.

[@jsenigaglia]

Can’t go wrong with the banquet! 🍻

[@ronaldtheriot]

I enjoy Coors Banquet, and I miss Coors Extra Gold Lager.

[@jsenigaglia]

I don't think I ever had Coors Extra Gold. Was there a big difference in taste? Cheers Jay!

[@ronaldtheriot]

@@jsenigaglia There is a difference, but it's subtle. Cheers, back to you, Joe!

[@thespankdmonkey]

The one and only beer my dad would drink. Strange now one of my upper tier adjunct lagers. I guess at 56 I am now like my dad, as I do tend to favor this beer, yet i, unlike my dad will still drink others as well.. I can remember every now and than he would add a pinch of salt to his beer. Regular table salt. It really does change the flavor. I have tried this with other adjuncts and it is an interesting addition.

[@jsenigaglia]

My grandpa used to sprinkle table salt in his beer. I do it once a year in his honor. I actually enjoy it! 🍻

[@flametraincbd4573]

I've had plenty craft beers and the price difference is not worth it and no they all have a different taste,pbr was a wine profile because of the yeast they use lol you have alot to learn about beer

[@jsenigaglia]

Woke AF

[@FrenchHawesBeerReviews]

Love the banquets! My favorite cheapy. Sweet, corn flavor. Great for the hockey locker room. Cheers 🍻Scott FHBR

[@joshbecque3922]

These cheap beer reviews are super entertaining. I'm digging them. Their classics

[@jsenigaglia]

Haha I should do more of these 😬🍻

[@eightballpaul]

Happy to see these cheap beers. I’ve been drinking so many craft heavy beers it’s nice to take a break and just pound some easy drinking beers.

[@jsenigaglia]

I 100% agree. These memory lane beers have been great. Hell, I might just start buying them on purpose again, ha.

[@jonathanrosas1609]

This was my go to before I entered the world of craft brew

[@jsenigaglia]

Have you had it lately? Was wondering what you thought about these days 🍻

[@jonathanrosas1609]

Joe Senigaglia last years was a chocolate bomb haven’t had this year.

[@lamplove7702]

Great review......always nice when a beer reviewer doesnt bash cheap beer but can see it's time and place. I'm blessed to make a little more money in my life now then what I used to so my game day, I wanna have maybe more then a few beers is Sam Adam's Boston Lager now. Actually it's probably the only beer I buy anymore period simply because its taste quality and drink ability is unmatched imo. Allot of beer geeks out there would roll there eyes when they read that but this was actually my first craft beer I ever had......tried hundreds of craft beers after that then ended up coming back to it cause I simply enjoy the overall experience of drinking this beer the best. So ironic cause I can buy this at a gas station. My craft beer loving buddies hate it about me......drink what makes you happy. Cheers!

[@jsenigaglia]

I'll never understand why people judge or talk shit about people who are drinking what they want to drink. It makes zero sense to me. Like you mentioned, maybe people are drinking what they can afford, or maybe people are old school and drank beer before craft was a thing, and thats what they like. The beer community is awesome, but its also an odd place. Cheers!

[@lamplove7702]

@@jsenigaglia well put so true

[@christianmead8378]

I was down with Coors Extra Gold back in the day!🤘🏽

[@camc9288]

You gonna throw a Busch Light review in with these, or is Busch light not readily available in Cali? Always a good fallback for me when there is nothing better in sight.

[@jsenigaglia]

If someone brings it over and leaves it, I’ll check it out! Don’t think I’ve seen it around here but honestly, I’ve never looked for it. Cheers Cam!

[@chriss6390]

I had it once years ago when I was at a bar with few options and wanted the tick on untappd cause fuck it. More recently my company's holiday party was at a venue where banquet was the best option. I actually don't mind it much, it has a lot more flavor than most of the generic crap.

[@wrayzor97]

Coors Light, Coors banquet and High Life are my go to cheap beer. Pabst Blue Ribbon and Michelob amber bock is close behind. I prefer these because to me they don’t seem watered down. That’s just my opinion. Cheers 🍻

[@snaker9873]

Had this on tap the other day just for you. Local place always has it on.

[@damiancordero3193]

I've had one myself. It was not what I had expected.

[@grittyshaker]

Love the bottle

[@jsenigaglia]

These stubby bottles are rad for sure!

[@njc4123]

Water lagers no bueno. I would rather just drink tea or water. Lol good for novelty and a quality review of Coors either way. Cheers Joe

[@CBourgeois77]

Coors Banquet and Extra Gold are my go to Macro beers. Try to get your hands on some Extra Gold. You can pick some up in New England haha. A little better than Banquet imo.

[@jsenigaglia]

I don't think I've ever seen Extra Gold!

[@budrhoades6049]

Advertising is how these mega corporations discern their beers from their competitors. I'm sure you've noticed over the years that the only way these behemoths differentiate themselves is often not what's in the bottle more than the bottle or can itself. Couple that with regularly updated " lifestyle" campaigns that often piggy back on what's fashionable at the time, fitness, music, regional outdoor lifestyles and most importantly, very good looking people. The Coors beer your drinking is a prime example of how to move more of a very familiar product, re-package it in a retro 1936 squat bottle to re-invigorate the buying public. Cheers, Bud

I i was a colt 45 type of kid with a flavored st ides here and there !!

I’ve never had Colt 45 I don’t think. I’ve had Old English, St Ides, and Mickeys but never Colt 45!

[@FourBrewersShow]

Also as a former big dude who now keeps an eye on most things I consume and how much work I’ll need to devote to offsetting those calories, you’re totally right about “drinking calories.” If you’re gonna drink calories, either go low cal with easy-drinking macro-light stuff, or go high with tasty craft/indie beer. I’ll be damned if I’m going to drink bland beer that has more calories than slightly blander “light” beer, only to then run my ass off to offset those calories. I’ll stick to local craft beers that I enjoy/love, while still running my ass off. 🍻🏃😉 Or...just enjoy things and ignore me. 😊 - John

Try some Rolling Rock thats my go to cheap "party" beer
